How to Unroll a Chair Mat
Deflecto chair mats are rolled for the consumer’s convenience when transporting the product. To unroll the chair mat, make sure it is at least room temperature, unroll on a hard surface and place weight on all four corners. The chair mat should lay flat in 12 to 24 hours (warmer areas with direct sunlight will shorten the time needed). View our Chair Mat Unrolling Instructions video.
